It’s still a wild idea that you can just give an AI agent a task and leave your computer for a bit and come back and it’s done. The ability to kick off coding, building a prototype, doing deep research, doing data analysis, generating a pitch, or any other common knowledge work task and then move on to something totally different is still so wild. We’re likely wildly underestimating the true impact and benefit in a world where useful work is not longer tied directly to the human’s time behind the keyboard. We’ve never been able to decouple output (value) from human input (time) in knowledge work before. I’d guess something like a small percentage of knowledge workers right now truly are tapping into this phenomenon. The world of work is going to be very different when this is the default behavior.
